I'm drinkin black coffee like water, just trying to stay away from the espresso maker.

>>17073031
You should probably start drinking water like water, also.

>>17073053
I actually have been drinking a bit more water at work. Normally if I'm not drinking coffee, it's diet soda. Bot coffee grill is trying to play nutritionist and she been bugging me so I swap out 3 or 4 of those Diet Pepsi cans for bottles of water.

She still somehow doesn't complain much about the Newports or coffee because she drinks a ton of coffee too.

Thurs night I got about 3hrs of sleep and had an 11hr day Friday so I think I took down about 50oz of coffee by 10am.

What exactly do you do again?

Gundam's Skyline deal doesn't seem too bad. I think he lives close to their yard so most weeks he just drives over there Monday morning and then gets back Friday night I think. If I were to do OTR, at least something like that doesn't seem terrible.

You will still have to deal face to face with shippers, receivers, truck stop attendants, cashiers, other drivers, yard jockeys, scale house operators, local police, state troopers, dot officers, company terminal staff and management, mechanics, tire technicians, and at times the general public.

Often these exchanges will be heated and very emotional due to the stresses the industry imposes.

My cousin is a truckerfag with a small company that carries potato, wheat and watermelon all around the country, he knows I can drive fast stuff without wrecking and wants me in but I have no license yet. I've never been in the wheel of something bigger than an F-250 and really need to get accustomed. My question here, Is Eurotruck sim a good training platform? I have a g25 and all the isolation and time of the world, don't want to fuck up in the license courses or throw any of his KW's into a ditch.

It's better than nothing for sure. I would have liked to familiarize myself with a big rig a little bit before training. That much less to have to think about when your training.

>>17075710
You should worry about getting your regular licence first tbqh

>>17075710
At best, playing either Euro Truck or American Truck Sim will give you an idea of driving with a large trailer attached to you. I know in Euro Truck you can disable the option to skip parking the trailer, and you can also choose 'skilled parking always' which gives you harder spots to put the trailer in, which may help you understand the basics of backing the trailer a bit better.

I'm a regional flatbedder at a company with 5 trucks total. Work M-F and home sometimes in between

If they USA had more nuclear power. Then we could be producing DiMethylEither with the waste heat. Which we can straight up use as a diesel fuel replacement, or convert into actual diesel.

removing the price of oil from the price of fuel for trucking and other diesel burners. Which would stabilize prices of all consumer goods.

>>17075847
Why? Driving in general is easy as fuck. Driving a truck isn't a whole lot harder. A sim isn't going to prepare you for that 90 degree into the last spot in the rain at a tiny pilot at 0300 with your Qualcomm shouting at you that you have 0 hours of drive time remaining but it can't hurt.

>>17076183
>with your Qualcomm shouting at you that you have 0 hours of drive time remaining
That reminds me, I've gotten into a habit of going offduty before I park a lot. Say there's the exit with a stop sign at the bottom and the truck stop is down the block, when I stop at the sign, I'll switch over and then drive to the truck stop and park, since you can drive about a mile and a half before it automatically switches you over. It only saves a couple minutes a day, but sometimes it might take you ten minutes to get into the parking lot, find a spot, and get parked. Anyways, is that something I could get in trouble for? I know "technically" I guess it should count as driving, but is a DOT going to actually look and say "why is there 0.7 miles difference between when you went off duty here and on duty PTI the next day?" and if someone did happen to look, is it actually bad?

Autism. Hence the disproportionately high number of Prime employees that post in these threads

>>17076692
>>17076980

It has for me. Used to cheat the system by just changing status at a light to off duty so I could keep driving.

Now when you're in a status change, you have 4 minutes to change the status from driving to off duty. Wait a minute till it hits 5, then you can change back to driving without it effecting your HOS. Keep doing this and you'll be good.

But if you drive less than 5mph for over a mile, it'll change you to on duty status and fuck up your HOS.

Now, illegally apparently, I just use off duty driving to make my deliveries before my 10 hour reset.

What would cause a semi rig that's been parked for a couple days to catch fire?

>>17078698
Something electrical I'm sure. With diesel, it's not going to be the result of a fuel leak even if the thing was running. That shit barely even burns.

>>17078704

>>17078731
Mice are really good at starting electrical fires because they'll build a nest made out of little shreds of paper and loose fiber, then graze on wires running through the nest at their leisure.

I've never done strait OTR but I've done plenty of 2-5 days long runs and I've never understood why truckers like parking at truck stops. What's the appeal besides a shitter?

What's the point of a seal if they give me the seal to put on the trailer? I closed my doors but forgot to seal it, and by the time I got back to the cab, I didn't feel like climbing out and walking all the way back to the end of the trailer again, so I just left and put the seal on when I got to the receiver, completely invalidating the entire point of the seal.

You can tell that he's a busrider because he only knows or cares about horsepower. He doesn't understand anything about trucking or trucks or freight, he only knows a V8 makes more power.

>>17086629
Considering both truck types I compare have V8 but one makes ~1800Nm and the other makes 3500Nm.
Also, I haven't used a bus in 12 years, so that doesn't really make me a busrider.
Everyone knows EU trucks are the strongest most efficient trucks on the planet.

I bet you can't post a picture of your truck, though. Since you don't have one, or know anything about them. What about the difference in price, or maintenance costs, reliability, efficiency, ride quality, any other aspect of driving is completely beyond you. You only know about horsepower. And our GVW limits are set by the government to help protect the roads, it has nothing to do with the truck manufacturers. They build weaker engines that are capable of performing their duties more efficiently and for longer. Are your tires even capable of handling that weight at 80mph on a 140° road for 8hrs straight? Do you even know what a tire rating is?

>>17087542

You back on the road yet TFag?

okay guys. new driver here. I have an offer from a large company for a regional flatbed route, where they'll fly me out and train me and then I have to ride with a trainer for 4-8 weeks but after that they claim I'll be home at least 1-2 days a week and get 2500-2700 miles a week on sliding pay scale with a minimum of 45 cpm. they have a sign-on bonus and reimburse for CDL training.

I just got another offer from a local crane company hauling flatbed for them, older pre-emission trucks with 18 speeds vs. newer automatics with emissions for the regional company. but they only offered me 19/hr, but health care is completely paid by the company as well as matching 2% of my gross into a 401k. it's a small deal, more like a family run operation but it's not just a driving job. I can also help with setting up rigging and shit for their huge cranes. they said I can pretty much count on 60+ hour weeks during the summer with time and a half after 40 hours and double pay on sundays.

I have been wanting something in between sitting on my ass all day and doing lots of manual labor with little driving. it seems like I've got two extremes here. which would you choose? why?

>>17089675
anything that has "sliding scale" in the description should be avoided on principle.

>>17089717
kinda what I figured. but they did say I'm guaranteed 45 cpm, never less, even deadhead. I just think they might be fudging the miles for the regional runs. I've read lots of driver reviews and the lack of miles is brought up much more often than anyone thinking they're not being compensated fairly.

>>17089675
I would go with the crane outfit, personally.

The older 18 speed trucks will be more fun to drive with no def/dpf headaches, hourly wages with overtime, paid medical and that 401k deal seem like a no brainer, and smaller companies are usually a lot nicer to work for since they are more relaxed and tighter knit.

And who knows, maybe if you prove yourself, eventually they could let you work towards getting a crane operator apprenticeship.

>>17090037
Both loading and pumping at the same time actually. We're continuously loading water from the tank, heating it by running it through the burner, then pumping it back into the tank, which slowly heats the reservoir. We heated them from around 5°C to 40°C.

The box has a couple of digital gauges, a bunch switches for air actuated valves, and a bunch of different controls for the burner, pumps, hydraulics and pto.

See if they're offering a weekly minimum pay since work can come to a crawl in the winter. Either way, exercising financial discipline will help you enjoy your 10-20 hour weeks in the winter.

Bobtailing is aight, especially if you don't have a governer. The last trip I did with my previous employer, I took a flatbed with a bunch of odds and ends to a terminal seven hours away and bobtailed the whole way back, governed at 59mph on a highway with a 68mph speed limit. I got passed a lot.

>>17091911
Yeah this one is at 65mph but it's straight because I can still pass most other trucks. I like taking the 10spd T800s because they will do closer to 80mph.

No they fucking aren't. Your trucks are lighter, and you have way lower traffic and population density than even a small, poor european country. You don't have 40ton trucks run near-constantly along your major routes and some relatively minor ones. The only issue is that you never bother to maintain them beyond maybe tossing some extra tarmac into a pothole without bothering to empty of level it first.
'Preventative maintenance' is a dirty word in america.

You don't know that, though. All you know is that you saw on Google where European counties have a higher legal weight per axle but that doesn't mean every truck is hauling that much. It could be that European trucks on average haul less than American ones, I don't have those sorts of numbers in front of me and neither do you. Just because the legal limit is higher doesn't mean the trucks carry that much regularly, or maybe even ever
>way lower traffic and population density
Statistically untrue. America has way more traffic. American roads see way more miles than any European country per capita.

Yes we do.

Metric magic is the answer.

100kph is the usual speed limit on Ganadian highways, which converts to 62mph, and the hwy I was on with that bobtail is a max of 110kph, so 68mph.

Why would you load a truck below capacity? That's inefficient.
Eurotrucks have a higher weight limit, period. Not just per axle. Also, the trucks are lighter, so the loads are heavier to boot.
Also, lower weight per axle in law = weak-ass cheap shit roads.

>Why would you load a truck below capacity? That's inefficient.
Because regardless of your weight limit, you have a length limit, and you can only fit so much stuff into a trailer. You'd have to be hauling something really dense to hit your weight limit.
>Eurotrucks have a higher weight limit, period. Not just per axle.
No one ever said they didn't.
>so the loads are heavier to boot.
You don't know that, and you can't prove it either.
>>Yes we do.
>No, you don't. 44 TONNES.
We do, though. You said 40ton trucks, a fully loaded American truck weighs 40tons, and I happen to know for a fact that a good amount of those trucks are actually hitting their weight limit. For example, I've never seen a produce or meat trailer loaded under 40k lbs.
>You're just reeeee-ing right now, but please, keep posting more shit I can debunk.
You haven't debunked a single thing. You can't, because you don't have any experience, facts, or stats to support your theory. Literally all you know about trucking is what you read on Wikipedia about European truck engines and weight restrictions.

I just prefer the look of the E36 for some reason. The E46 looks homogenized or something.

>>17098067
Yeah I'm with you, the e46 has some derp it just can't get rid of. The e36 dem straight lines and is from the era before computers started driving the car for you. Unfortunately, the US model missing 100hp and is just a little too small for my fat trucker body to be completely comfortable in.

>>17096324
I don't think it's a talent as much as it is just anxiety to pay debts and have some extra money. After the first 3 weeks I started to just numb out. 8 weeks I don't even really feel like stopping. I'm at week 13 and now just feeling off. I'm slowly losing connection with friends and family, and it's unsettling. I just need some debt payed off then I'm enlisting to the Air Force.

E46 and later, they lost those sports car lines and started to look more like regular compact sedans. Same thing happened with the newest Lexes IS model.

1 truck stop in Charlotte NC and it's completely full. I need to take a shit.

We tight like a virgin

Are you guys thinkin 'bout her as much as I am?

hey guys i'm a heavy equipment operator which pays better than trucking but is seasonal since i live where the ground freezes

was thinking of getting my trucking license but i only really want to do long hauls in the construction off season.. like maybe heavy heauling which might be easier to get into since i'm in the industry already

is this feasible at all?

>>17094169

>>17096272
So, like a curtain-sides truck?

>>17098671
>e30 M3
Well, yeah but they start at $40k and just skyrocket from there. Regular e30s occupy that annoying space where people are asking too much for the cars that need work and ridiculous amounts for cars they have modified. I spent months looking for a decent unfucked with 318is with a LSD and never came close to finding one. You can get a great e36 m3 or a okayish e46 m3 for the price of most e30s, so I ended up with a real nice e36.

>>17098749
I like the e92, shits beefy

>>17098818
BMW sold America a stripper model for what ever reason. Worse interior, weaker driveline, worse brakes, an a extremely similar engine that for whatever reason makes 240hp instead of 340hp and doesn't respond to upgrades. Mine is pretty high mileage so I'd love to swap an S50 into it and buy another with lower mileage and park it.

>>17098897
$100 it's a chebby

>>17099329
good luck getting into heavy haul without 15+ years experience. the guys who do that are almost entirely 50+ years old and there's a reason for it - there's no room for mistakes.

>>17099431
Ah that's a shame to hear. Reckon my dreams of owning a slick E36 are dashed then.

>>17099507
Eh, it's still a great car and they're going up in value. You can always buy one in Canada if you want the euro spec.

>>17099541
Oh well that's neat then. Wonder how hard it is to get a canuckistan car OK'd for freedumbland

Does anyone have a /tfg/ approved list of common carriers from memetier/best to worst? I know firsthand that swift and USA are pretty much at the bottom, but I'm training from a private school and will get all my endorsements off the bat so I want to go for a recommended flatbed or hazmat company that you guys recommend.

Should I just pull the pin and do prime? I want to suffer for my money. Unload my own cargo.

losin (slang) verb - a shorthand spelling of the word 'losing'

losing (verb) - the present participle tense of 'lose'

>>17101640
What >>17101721 said, that and the nearest terminal was a four hour drive from my house. I got paid my first week at Danny Herman and even that went direct deposit with no wait.

>>17103576
wow you complained about a 4 hour drive?
the closest Werner could get me was Fresno.
i live in Washington.
this is also partly why i was out 3-4 months at a time.

>>17103071
Wow, so it really is a Holden? That's why I snapped the VIN just to prove to you guys how sketchy FL really is.

Anyone familiar with Bison Transport? They have a training program for new drivers if they sign a 2 year contract. Is it worth it?

>>17103775
Its not sketchy. You seppos actually got holden commodores and they got rebadged by chevy.

>In the Middle East, South Africa and Brazil, the Commodore sold as a Chevrolet. High-performance export versions followed in North America, sold as Pontiac and later Chevrolet. HSV also exported to the United Kingdom as Vauxhall, in the Middle East as Chevrolet Special Vehicles (CSV) and in New Zealand and Singapore as HSV.
